“Acura’s flagship sedan is a rolling showcase for the company’s best electronic, performance and safety technology. With tough competition coming from all sides, the luxury automaker wisely packs the 2017 Acura RLX luxury sedan with standard equipment that is often optional on other cars, then brings its starting price in at thousands below a comparable BMW 5 Series or Mercedes-Benz E-Class.” ~ Autotrader 1

“For 2017, the entry-level version is the $54,450 RLX with Technology Package. * It includes navigation, a 14-speaker audio system, and the AcuraLink telematics system. There’s also a host of active safety tech, including a lane-keep assist function that can steer the car back between the lines, a collision-mitigating automatic braking setup, and adaptive cruise control, which is capable of following another car during stop-and-go traffic jams.” ~ CarGurus 2

“The 2017 Acura RLX is the flagship sedan from Honda’s luxury division. While this model isn’t as well known as rivals such as the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Audi A6 or Lexus GS, it hides quite a few tricks up its sleeve. Those open to driving a vehicle that flies below the radar will find a comfortable, powerful and competent luxury sedan that is flush with safety and driver-assist technologies.” ~ Kelley Blue Book 3

Performance

Pristine performance

The 2017 Acura RLX combines the responsive handling of Acura’s supercars with the gas mileage and dependability that sedan drivers love. The RLX can be outfitted as a Sport Hybrid vehicle and equipped with Agile Handling Assistance, Precision All-Wheel Steering, and SportShift Paddles. That means you’ll have everything you need to take full advantage of this vehicle’s aerodynamic design and its 3.5L V6 engine.

3.5L V6 Engine

The highlight of any Acura vehicle is its high-performance engineering, and the 2017 Acura RLX does not disappoint. Under the hood of this vehicle, drivers will find a direct injection 3.5L V6 engine that generates 310 hp and 272 hp all by itself.

Sport Hybrid

Originally designed for Acura’s NSX supercar, the 2017 RLX Sport Hybrid system utilizes three electric motors to enhance every aspect of your vehicle’s performance, from power to fuel economy to handling. Equipped with this technology, your RLX Sport Hybrid will get an EPA-estimated 29 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway,** all while enjoying a full 377 hp! What’s more, Sport Hybrid drivers can use their front-mounted electric motors to activate Super Handing All-Wheel Drive.

SportShift Paddles

Although standard models of the 2017 RLX come equipped with an automatic transmission, you’ll still be able to take full control of this vehicle’s functioning thanks to its SportShift paddles. These steering wheel–mounted controls help to cultivate the active engagement that is the foundation of luxury driving.

Agile Handling Assist

Agile Handling Assist works alongside your Sport Hybrid and P-AWS technology to further enhance the RLX’s high-performance driving capability. This technology can send signals to manage each of the RLX’s four brakes independently, giving you unparalleled control.

Aerodynamics

The 2017 RLX is capable of cutting through the air like no midsize sedan before it. By designing the RLX’s multi-material body in accordance with computer models and high-stress tests, the engineers at Acura have created a vehicle that achieves great speed and mileage no matter what wind resistance you’re facing.

Precision All-Wheel Steer

Traditional all-wheel drive setups provide vehicles with extra power, but the engineers at Acura have done something even more useful in the RLX. All RLX models that have been equipped with four-wheel drive can access Precision All-Wheel Steering (P-AWS), which greatly enhances maneuverability by directing your rear wheels where you need them to go.

Exterior

Elegant exterior

You’ll love how you feel inside the sharply designed, elegant 2017 Acura RLX. Acura’s designers left convention and custom in the past when they developed this one-of-a-kind sedan. By opting for a computer-driven and computer-tested approach, Acura has composed an automobile of sleek curves and powerful lines that offers an unparalleled, aerodynamic performance. The 2017 RLX has been equipped with a variety of exterior features that make it both more satisfying and more fun to drive!

Keyless Access

Drivers always appreciate the ability to go hands-free, and the RLX’s keyless access feature allows them to do just that! Your Acura’s onboard computer recognizes when you and your key fob are close to the vehicle, and knowing this, it can prepare itself for your approach with Smart Entry technology. Once inside, drivers can activate push-button start and reset their personalized feature settings, all without a key!

Surround View Camera

Every 2017 Acura RLX is equipped with a multi-angle rearview camera, but with the Advance Package, you’ll further enhance your visibility with a luxurious surround view camera system. This feature makes use of four exterior cameras to send a 360-degree view of your vehicle’s surroundings straight to your display screen. This feature automatically switches to rear-camera mode when you activate it while in reverse.

Capless Fuel Door

Refueling your luxury sedan shouldn’t feel like a chore. Keep your hands clean with the 2017 RLX’s capless fuel door. Gone are the days of forgetting your gas cap after fueling and better yet, the problems that arise from a loose or faulty gas cap. Acura engineers left no stone unturned while designing the all-new RLX, and the capless fuel door is just another example.

Interior

Enticing interior

Of course, if you’re only looking at the outside of this vehicle, you’re going to miss so much of what makes it unique. The interior of the 2017 Acura RLX has been outfitted like a mobile fortress. Inside its cabin, you’ll find comfort and convenience features that have been designed to respond to your every whim. Simple but enduring pleasures like class-leading rear legroom and perforated Milano leather seating give the RLX a truly timeless feel, while advanced technology features like Active Sound Control and Head-Up Display functionality ensure that the RLX is ready to carry you into the future.

High-End Materials

The RLX has been outfitted with all of the luxury design features that Acura drivers demand. Its ergonomic seats are coated with perforated Milano leather and topped with precise contrast stitching. RLX drivers will also enjoy a leather-trimmed dashboard, illuminated storage space, and brushed aluminum speakers.

Class-Leading Rear Legroom

The 2017 RLX is a midsize sedan, but drivers everywhere are remarking on its luxurious interior dimensions and features. Rear-seated passengers in particular will find a lot to love in the 2017 RLX! The second row of seating in the RLX upsets the standards of its segment with independent center console controls, its own climate zone, and 38.8 inches of legroom. With the RLX’s Advance Package, second-row passengers will also get dual-level heated seats.

Advanced Audio Systems

The Acura RLX comes standard with the surround-sound-ready Krell Audio System. Drivers who don’t want to compromise their music can also choose to upgrade with the powerful ELS Studio Premium Audio System, which offers even greater sound quality with a 14-speaker layout.

On Demand Multi-Use Display

Smart design makes all the difference between clutter and capability. The 2017 Acura RLX employs an On Demand Multi-Use Display (ODMD) in order to centralize your vehicle’s many features and functions. With the 7-inch, full-color ODMD, you’ll be able to control dozens of technologies with just nine touchscreen buttons.

Active Sound Control

Acura’s designers know that, for many of their drivers, silence is a highly valued luxury. Drivers can have all the peace and quiet they desire in the RLX, which offers a variety of sound management technologies as standard features. Noise-reducing acoustic glass and newly redesigned alloy wheels affect a significant reduction in noise pollution, while Active Sound Control makes engine rumble nearly inaudible by sending out contrasting frequencies.

Head-Up Display

This year, the engineers at Acura have included a high-tech Head-Up Display on the RLX Sport Hybrid. Thanks to this feature, all of the information you need is projected straight to your vehicle’s windshield, so you’ll never need to take your eyes off the road. Everything from turn-by-turn navigation to real-time power distribution can be managed using the RLX’s Head-Up Display.

Safety

Synchronized safety

High-end performance and technology features don’t mean very much if they aren’t backed up by safety features of an equivalent caliber. Thankfully, drivers of the 2017 Acura RLX will possess a whole suite of highly advanced, computer-powered safety tools that make it easy to manage danger and distraction on the road. Whenever you get behind the wheel of this sedan, you’ll be able to drive with the confidence that comes from knowing your car is looking after you and your passengers.

Collision Mitigation Braking System

In the event of a possible collision, a few seconds of braking can make the difference between life and death. When your system’s front-facing camera detects obstacles in your path, the RLX’s Collision Mitigation Braking System tightens your seat belts and begins to apply your brakes immediately.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Cruise control is a powerful convenience feature, and with AcuraWatch, the 2017 RLX extends that convenience even further. When you employ Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed Follow, your RLX won’t require your intervention in order to adjust to the ebb and flow of traffic. This feature even accepts user inputs, so you can set your speed and following distance to your liking.

Lane Keeping Assist System

Drifting into oncoming traffic is a great fear of many drivers, but you’ll never have to worry about such a scenario in the 2017 RLX. This system can correct your path when it detects that you’re drifting over the center line, and works constantly to keep you safe while your turn signal is inactive.

Road Departure Mitigation System

Thanks to automatic Road Departure Mitigation, your RLX will be capable of correcting its own course when it senses that you’re at risk of drifting onto the road shoulder. When it believes you’re at risk, your RLX’s Road Departure Mitigation also tightens your seat belts and sends out visual warnings.

Vehicle Stability Assist

Traction and control are the most reliable guarantors of driving safety. Vehicle Stability Assist ensures that your RLX always maintains its characteristic high-performance handling, even when you’re driving in extreme conditions.

Blind Spot Information System

The designers and engineers at Acura trust in the abilities of their drivers, but no one can pin down every approaching vehicle. In the 2017 Acura RLX, you won’t have to! This car’s Blind Spot Information System lights up whenever it detects a nearby vehicle outside your field of vision.
